    Teleconverter

    I have a D3400 with a Sigma (C) 150-600 lens I have been using to photograph a pair of bald eagles at their nest. Federal law says no closer than 330 feet. I am generally 350’ from the nest, but the lake area where they perch/hunt is much further. My question is can my D3400 & the Sigma handle...

    Telephoto Lens Suggestions for Birding

    Hello - New to the site. I have a D3400 + Starter kit I bought last year. The 70-300 lens with the kit was fine, at first. However, getting close to raptors is a challenge. I would like to get a better/longer lens due to the elusive nature of the raptors. I have a mono-pod, but the majority...
